LMAO Indeed, I mean why get rid of Jason Bay to bring in a guy who produces the same numbers? Then again I understand he is "on the cheap" with a minor league deal and who kniow if lightning will strike (as my friend in Wales would say "Not Bludy Likely!)

"The problem is not only are they stocking their major league team with with crap but they're also filling out their minor leagues with players with no upside.

What is the point?"

But that was before he found religion.

The thread only goes downhill from there with high-minded commentary focusing on R.A.'s last name. Real intellectual crew we have here.

Guilty as charged. It's also worth noting I wrote that before I saw him pitch. I changed my tune, or found religion, as you put it, after the televised Buffalo one-hitter in which retired 27 in a row after giving up a leadoff single. I also liked what I saw after he made his Mets debut.

That's when I opened up the church and, among much derision, told anyone who would listen that RA was the real deal. It took probably until the end of that season for people to agree.
